A week ago, I planned to share this exciting news with you personally today, but the rapid response of coronavirus pneumonia-19 led to a rapid and necessary change in the plan.

Just as teaching, learning and work have been transferred to remote delivery, this major announcement has also been transferred to the Internet.

Bill Flanagan, the 4th president of university of alberta/kloc-0.

When the presidential selection committee started its work last June, we realized that university of alberta was at a critical moment. We are required to respond to great changes, not only the immediate response to coronavirus pneumonia-19, but also the long-term response-the changes in Alberta's post-secondary education field, the rapid changes and diversified provincial and national economic changes, and the important role that comprehensive research-intensive universities must continue to play in the future knowledge economy. The decisions and solutions we reach today will determine the development track of this university in the next few years or even decades. ?

After extensive international search and careful consideration of many outstanding candidates, we proudly chose Bill Flanagan, an outstanding academic leader and innovator, to guide this track and make the University of Alberta move towards Excellence. ?

Bill Flanagan was born and raised in Alberta, and joined university of alberta from Queen's University. From 2005 to 20 19, he served as Dean of Law School 14. He holds a bachelor's degree in English and philosophy from Carlton University, a doctorate in law from the University of Toronto, a master's degree in international economic law from the University of Paris I-Sorbonne and a master's degree in law from Columbia University. His academic works cover property law, company law and international trade law. ?

President-elect Flanagan has strategic vision and entrepreneurial spirit, and he has the ability to seek development opportunities for the research and teaching mission of the whole university. Under his leadership, the number of teachers and plans expanded and fund-raising increased fivefold after a period of restrictions and the decline of public funds. With the increase of resources, the reputation of the school in research and teaching has been enhanced, and the learning experience of students has been enriched by broader learning opportunities and a completely renovated learning environment. ?

President-elect Flanagan led these changes as a creative, inspiring and United leader. He re-imagined what legal education could be-before, during and after law school. Under his leadership, the School of Law established a doctoral program and a center for contemporary workplace law. As the dean, he opened legal research to undergraduates and took the lead in offering postgraduate courses for practicing lawyers. At the institutional level, he closely participated in the implementation of the new budget model of Queen's University, the formulation of the strategic framework of the University (20 14-20 19) and the comprehensive revision of the code of conduct for university students.

A lifelong commitment to diversity and inclusiveness also marks Bill Flanagan's leadership. Deepening the diversity of student groups and law majors is an unchangeable goal. In 2019/20, the number of students who consider themselves indigenous reached a record level, which is the result of the school's response to the call of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and its clear commitment to incorporate indigenous legal knowledge.

President-elect Flanagan is a talented and influential communicator and contact. He has established a wide network of national business and community leaders, legal professionals, academic colleagues, alumni and donors. From 20 1 1 to 20 14, he served as the chairman of the Council of Deans of Canadian Law Schools and served on the National Action Committee for Judicial Assistance in Civil and Family Matters. ?

He is currently the Chairman of the National Working Group of the Canadian AIDS Research Foundation, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Toronto AIDS Committee, Canada's largest community HIV service organization, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Ontario HIV Treatment Network and the Canadian AIDS Russia Project. In recognition of his community service, he was included in the honor list of Ontario AIDS Network (20 1 1). ?

President-elect Flanagan's enthusiasm for university of alberta is obvious, and he looks forward to the future of the university as a global leader in solving key challenges in the world. Although he can't attend our conference in person, he has sent a video message to the community. I invite you to watch the video here.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Vice President kelly smith and the members of the Presidential Candidate Selection Committee for their time, efforts and guidance.
